In the extreme southwest corner OF
Louisiana lies the largest producing farm
In the world ltruns lUomiics n"ithand
south and twenty five miles east and west,
and is owned and operated by a syndicate
of northern capitalists Their general
manager, J. B. Watkins, gives an inter
esting account of this gigantic plantation,
which throws the great Dalrymple farm
of Dakota into the shade completely.
He was cOru,i by reporter at the st
James hotel last night and asked TO give
the particulars of his gigantic enterprise.
s'The million and half acres of land in
our tract, - Mr. Watkins said, was pur-
chased in 1889 from the safe Of Louisiana
aud from the United States government.
At that time il was vast gra2lng land
for the cattle of the few dealers of the
neighborhOod When took possession l
found over 80, 900 head of half wild horses
and cattle. My first work was 10 divide
the immense tract into convenient pas
lures, establishing stations on ranches
every six miles The fencing alone cost
in the neighborhool of SJ0, 900, The land
| found to he best adapted to rice, sugar,
corn and cotton.
IAN our cultivating. ditching, etc, is
done by steam power. We take tract,
say half mile wide for instance, and
place an engine at each side. These en-
| gines are portable and operate cable
attached to four plows, and under this
arrangement we are enabled to plow thirty
acres day with only the labor of three
| men Our narrowing. planting and otheI
| eultivating is done in like manner. In
| fact there is not draught horse on the
entire place. We have, of course, horse:
| for the herders OF cattle, of which We nov
| have IS, 0o0 head The southern Pacif1,
railroad runs fo- thirty-siX miles through
| our farm. We have three steamboat!
| operating on the waters of our ows estate
upon which there are 800 miles Of navi

CONSUMPTION BY iNGEsTIoN.
DIR. Blaine Holds that the Disease is 40
auired from Meat and Milk.

quired from Meat and Milk.
DR. NJ. ID. Blaine read paper last night
before the New York Academy of Medi-
cine on Bovine Tuberculosis-its Com
munication by Inhalation, Ingestion and
Hereditary Transmission, and its Relation
to Public Health" DIR. Blaine said that
consumption or tuberculosis is both in
herited and acquired He held that as
the 80 called lower animals have organs
similar in construction and material to
those of man, the diseases existing in the
one are capable of reproduction in the
other, and that it is natural that man,
who drinks the lower animals milk and
eats their flesh, should contract their dis
eases through ingestion. He said that :
per cent of all the animals killed in the
abattoirs of this city have tuberculosis,
and that 21 per cent of all milk cows have
the same disease Last July, with Mr.
Romaine. the meat inspector, he visited
the stock yards about the city. On the
day of his visit l3 cows were sold to Jersey
buyers, 3 of which had tuberculosis, IN
16 herds that furnished milk for brooklyn
every herd comprised animals that had
this disease, and in one of the cows,
selected at random and killed, the bron-
chial glands were three times their normal
size, with calcifed sections, cheesy Jumps
and cavities filled with muco-purnlent
| matter. DIR. Blaine exhibited specimens
of evident cases of tuberculosis taken from
the abattoirs in various parts Of the city.
DR.. Cyrus Edison, after congratulating
| DIR. Blaine on having written the first
thesis on the subject which had ever been
written, said that 5000 cows, many OF
which are diseased, are permanently
| stabbed about New York, and he was
satisfied that they gave tuberculosis tc
hundreds of persons. Hesaid that it is G
| shame and disgrace that in this whole
city there are only three milk inspectors
| and only one meat inspector.
The academy voted to have Dr. Blaine's
paper printed for general circulation
| New York Sun.

The Jambalaya is delicious Creole dish, y
and is thus prepared; Take good tender
chicken and cut it up into neat joints, dip
them into egg and cracker crumbs, season
them with salt and pepper and fry in deep,
boiling fat, just as you would oysters; when
they are delicately Drowned take them out
and place them in the centre of a hot meat
dish, sprinkling it with a little chopped pars-
ley. Now take a porcelain lined vessel and
turn into it can of tomatoes, large onion,
two tablespooufuls of butter, a little salt and
pepper, six lamps of sugar and a teacupful Of
rice. Let these cook gently until the rice is
tender; the rice should not be too dry nor yet
too moist, hut stiff enough for spoon to
stand in it. When done remove the onion
and serve dished around the chicken--Ex-

Writing of the Deranged.

The manuscripts of neuropaths-a
word wide enough to include the slight
and the severe disturbances Of mental
sanity-present certain typical charac-
teristics. They abound in italiciscd
words; in exclamation points and punct-
uations after almost every word; in FREE
quent use of capitals; in various sizes
of writing, particularly much very
large writing; and the like. 1t is not
often that such people have the oppor-
tunity Of going to print and converting
the composition to their peculiar system
of Typography. M. Richet prints few
specimen pages of such an author, and
counts twelve different kinds of letters
in seventeen lines, besides the usual
capitals, exclamation points, and so on,
in great abundance. All this is signif-
cant of an excited, prancing state of
mind, closely allied to delirium and
mania

MY BONNIE MARIE.


The town lies asleep IN the shadow,
The hilltops and moonbeams have kissed,
And the up-peeping eyes Of the meadow
Are hid by the veil Of the mist
With eyes all too busy to slumber,
wander abroad but TO see
II, by counting the stars, can number
The charms Of my fair,
With sunny-hued hair.
The charms Of my Bonnie Marie.
] count till my eyes dim with longing,
But never ny task Ia complete,
TIL bask in the charms that are thronging,
Like stsr-beams aslant 1t her feet.
Her heart Is a. pure In its luster
AS the new-fallen snow on the lee,
And no Jewels, In costiiest cluster,
Are worthy, ween,
For the crown of my Queen.
The crown for my Bonnie Marie.
! could paint you her checks modest blushes
II the tints Of the rose were more fair;
But no songs Of the sweetest of thrushes
With the spell of her whisper compare;
Her eyes are as blue In their beaming
As the waves Of the sunniest sea.
And. whether I'm walking or dreaming,
She's ever my own,
She's mine, mine alone,
Ny Queenly, my Bonnie Marie.
IS. p. Driver.
